If your Double-Eye Leaf Springs are 27 inches long, you will just want to mount the hangers in the Redline Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APS4 mentioned in your question about 26-1/2 inches apart. As a general rule, you want the distance between hangers on a leaf spring suspension system to be around a 1/2 inch shorter than the distance of your leaf springs, which will allow for some movement with the shackle strap.
